Lamplighters

I bobbed into town to pick up some groceries for breakfast.  I knew that something was happening in town, but as GO was at work I wasn't too bothered about it.  As I got closer though I noticed a few huge multicoloured cones peeking over the tips of the houses.  I might as well have a quick look, I thought to myself.  It was awesome, lots of paper hand made lanterns towering over seven foot tall.
